Of course, this is just a fragment of a complex and dramatic story that serves as the perfect introduction to the Yakuza saga. Stoic protagonist Kazuma Kiryu is ready to take command of his own family under the umbrella of the Tojo Clan and things appear to be looking up. If you’re fresh from playing Yakuza 0, the switch over to Kiwami is perfectly natural: since 0 is a prequel of the series, and this game is a remake of the original. On top of that, they added a ton of new elements to bring it closer to its most recent sequels (and prequel), creating an experience worth playing even for those who enjoyed every single moment of the old and glorious Yakuza for PS2. Now, erase that concept from your brain, because Yakuza Kiwami is the polar opposite: the development team scrapped the old engine and assets, and completely remade the game in the same engine used for Yakuza Zero, resulting in a title that could easily pass for new if you didn’t know about the original. They’re great because they allow game publishers to raise funds which are mostly reinvested in making new games, but they offer little to those who already own and played the original games. Quite often, remasters and even remakes are little more than quick cash grabs.
